6 ft 7 here, according to this article the gradient difference is 9mm hg every 5 inches for tall(er) people's BP in order to avoid syncopes. Measured 130/85 (after coffee), so the equivalent for a 6'2 man would be 121/76 and 5'7 115/67. It has varied slightly, but never changed more than 10 mm hg on both ends for the past 30 years.

Ceffer says


due to loss of arterial compliance,

Lower arterial compliance can happen in athletes, esp. strength focused ones. Also extreme endurance athletes may encounter higher atherosclerosis. This may be surprising to some, but it doesn't mean by itself that they are worse off or that their exercise isn't net beneficial. Athletes commonly have wider pulse pressure. This all shows that focusing on one set of numbers without looking at everything else is not the right way to approach health.
